O'Neill set for Thursday hearing

Paul O’Neill will face the disciplinary panel of the Horseracing Regulatory Authority at 10am tomorrow after television cameras showed him appearing to headbutt a horse at Stratford.

The conditional jockey is charged with improper riding towards his mount, the John O’Shea-trained City Affair, before the Claydon Horse Exercisers Novices’ Selling Hurdle Race on July 23.
